India's Most Wanted: TV host jailed for wife's murder

Suhaib Ilyasi, who once hosted a popular crime-busting television series, should have produced his daughter who witnessed his wife's murder, a Delhi court observed on Wednesday as it sentenced the 51-year-old television producer to life in jail for the crime 17 years ago. At the time, Ilyasi had told the police that she had committed suicide.

The conviction under section 302 of the IPC for murder entails punishment either with life imprisonment or death.

The court also imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh on Ilyasi and ordered that Rs 10 lakh compensation be paid to Anju's parents.

Illyasi had shot to fame in the 1990s for the Zee TV show India's Most Wanted, which would track criminals on the run. Ilyasi was arrested on March 28, 2000, and charges framed against him after his in-laws alleged that he used to torture his wife for dowry.

As the judge pronounced the order, Suhaib shouted in the courtroom proclaiming his innocence and the life sentence handed out to him an "injustice". Later they also had a nikah and Anju became Afsan. However, in August 2014 the Delhi High court had ruled that Ilyasi should be charged with murdering his wife.

"This court reaches the inescapable conclusion that the defence taken by accused that the deceased had committed suicide by stabbing herself at their residence, is not acceptable since the prosecution evidence coupled with other material on record does not indicate that she committed suicide", it said. On April 14, Rashmi Singh gave an undertaking to the Delhi High Court that she wouldn't take the child Aaliya without the court's permission. The HC had then stayed the trial court proceedings in the case. Suhaib had been convicted of murdering his wife, who had suffered multiple stab wounds from a pair scissors. "My client is innocent", Ilyasi's lawyer, Manu Sharma, was quoted as saying after today's verdict.
